Leerders se traak-my-nie-agtige-houding jeens onderrig, \u2019n gebrek aan ouerbetrokkenheid en oorvol klasse. <\/p>\n
Dit is maar \u2019n paar van die uitdagings wat die nuutaangestelde distriksdirekteur van die Kaapse Wynland-onderwysdistrikskantoor, Noel Petersen (57), in die gesig staar.<\/p>\n
Petersen, van Bridgetown op die Kaapse Vlakte, is einde verlede jaar in die pos van distriksdirekteur van die Kaapse Wynland-onderwysdistrikskantoor aangestel.<\/p>\n
Benewens \u2019n BA-graad en \u2019n diploma in ho\u00ebr onderwys wat hy aan die Universiteit van die Wes-Kaap verwerf het, het Petersen ook verskeie leierskaps- en bestuurskursusse voltooi. <\/p>\n
Hy spog selfs met \u2019n diploma in menslike hulpbronbestuur wat hy deur Damelin Kollege verwerf het. <\/p>\n
Petersen het sy onderwysloopbaan in 1990 by Cloetesville Senior Sekond\u00eare Skool in Stellenbosch begin. Hy het vir 13 jaar in di\u00e9 pos gedien.<\/p>\n
Daarna is hy na Bellville-Suid Senior Sekond\u00eare Skool en toe na The Settler\u2019s High School.<\/p>\n
Hy is hierna aangestel as departementshoof by Rhenish Prim\u00eare Skool in Stellenbosch en later was hy hoof by die Prim\u00eare Skool Rondebosch-Oos. Hier het hy tot einde 2018 gedien.<\/p>\n
Petersen is daarna as kringbestuurder vir Metro-sentraal en later vir Metro-noord aangestel, voor hy sy huidige pos betree het. <\/p>\n
Petersen s\u00ea sy nuwe werk behels om toesig te hou oor al die aktiwiteite van die distrik in die Kaapse Wynland in terme van onderwys, die fasilitering en implementering van al die departement se beleide, strategiese planne, instruksies, programme en projekte soos bepaal deur die Wes-Kaapse onderwysdepartement. <\/p>\n
Oor watter uitdagings skole in die gesig staar, s\u00ea hy dat sosio-ekonomiese faktore in gemeenskappe soos werkloosheid, bendebedrywighede en misdaad \u2019n negatiewe impak op onderrig by kwesbare skole in di\u00e9 gemeenskappe het. <\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea die eindresultaat is \u2019n gebrek aan \u2019n leerkultuur onder leerders.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns sukkel met skole in ons arm gebiede waar respek vir die onderwys nie op die vlak is waar dit veronderstel is om te wees nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeerders stel eenvoudig net nie daarin belang om hul omstandighede deur middel van onderrig te verbeter nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea nog uitdagings is leerders wat stokkiesdraai, laat by die skool opdaag en di\u00e9 wat onderwysers \u2019n moeilike tyd gee. <\/p>\n
Petersen s\u00ea hoewel dwelmmisbruik in gemeenskappe hoogty vier, is daar maar baie min gevalle van di\u00e9 aard op skole. <\/p>\n
\u201cIndien voorvalle van dwelmmisbruik by skole aangemeld word, gee sielkundiges, maatskaplike werkers en leierskap-ondersteuningstrukture onmiddellik daaraan aandag.\u201d <\/p>\n
Petersen s\u00ea skole word selfs toegerus met vaardighede oor hoe om dwelmverwante voorvalle te hanteer.<\/p>\n
Werksessies oor kinderveiligheid, dwelmbewusmaking, boeliegedrag en tienerswangerskappe word ook gereeld by skole aangebied. <\/p>\n
Volgens Petersen is \u2019n gebrek aan ouerbetrokkenheid, veral by kwesbare skole, een van hul grootste uitdagings. <\/p>\n
\u201cDaar is \u2019n groot gebrek aan ouerbetrokkenheid op \u2019n konstruktiewe manier. Soms is ouers se betrokkenheid vernietigend en in die proses belemmer hulle onderrig.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie feit dat hulle hul kinders bystaan \u2013 wetend die kind is verkeerd \u2013 is vir ons \u2019n probleem.\u201d <\/p>\n
Volgens Petersen word ook hard gewerk om die probleem van oorvol klasse en dissipline onder leerders te probeer oplos. <\/p>\n
Met betrekking tot die besnoeiing van onderwysposte, s\u00ea hy: \u201cVan die distrik se kant af probeer ons om so ver as moontlik te bemiddel om ons skole te help om hierdie werklikheid te hanteer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Petersen s\u00ea dit is voorts belangrik dat leerders elke dag van die skooljaar op skool moet wees. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns wil verseker dat die skoolkwartaal nie eindig met ouers wat hul kinders by die huis hou of kinders wat verkies om by die huis te bly nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns verstaan die dinamika van eksamens waar onderwysers nasienwerk moet doen, maar ons moet \u2019n balans vind om onderrigtyd te beskerm. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie kultuur van die kwartaal wat vroeg eindig en leerders wat nie skool toe gaan gedurende die laaste week van skool nie, moet regtig tot \u2019n einde kom. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns het ons ouers se hulp nodig om te verseker dat hul kinders elke dag in die skool is vir die volle duur van ons skoolkwartale.\u201d<\/p>\n
Volgens Petersen is dit sy werk om seker te maak dat al hierdie uitdagings die hoof gebied word, asook om te verseker dat dinge skole bestendig is, beleide ingestel is en toegepas word en om \u2019n kultuur van onderrig en leer te kweek. <\/p>\n
